Frosinone Calcio loses Riccardo Marchizza, left-back, due to an injury to his left femoral rectum. The operation was successfully performed by Lasse Lempainen, orthopedic surgeon, at Pihlajalinna hospital in Turku, Finland. Marchizza, 25, is expected to return in the spring, but the recovery times will be evaluated week by week. The absence of the player will be a significant blow to coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who already has to deal with the suspensions of Okoli and Oyono. The Lazio club will have to return to the market in January to replace him. The first names are already circulating, such as Zortea from Atalanta and Zanoli from Napoli. Marchizza, until the injury, was one of the pillars of Frosinone's defense, with 13 appearances and four assists. His absence will be felt, but Frosinone Calcio must move forward. And the January market could be the opportunity to find a suitable replacement. Frosinone Calcio must be proactive in solving the defense problems. But the priority is Marchizza's health, who must recover from the injury. So Frosinone Calcio must be patient and wait for the player's return. The club will have to work hard to find a solution to the defensive problems. The absence of Marchizza will be a challenge, but Frosinone Calcio must overcome it.
